[Jeff Lary]

ok i see it now.

I will send pics now ,You will see a gasket I made but right now I have an orig one in the saw ,also you will see some permatex on the base gasket just a bit of insurance when I had to keep taking it apart the old gasket was well worn but still looked ok .

If i get the compression checked what should it be?

If i get the compression checked what should it be?

150-160 is good. The piston looks ok.

 

[Jeff Lary]

well thats what I thought 150 or 60 hua ? ok I will try to remember that.

 

[DSS]

My 5000+ has 175, it works really well.

 

[Jeff Lary]

I wonder what a guage would cost?

They're not that much, $30 maybe, but is there a small engine place anywhere close? It only takes a few minutes to check.

From what I can see the saw is in very good condition. Are the diaphrams/gaskets inside the carb stiff? Was there fuel inside the carb when you disassembled it for cleaning?

 

[Jeff Lary]

Oh yes there are plenty of them I would'nt think they would charge me too much?

 

[Jeff Lary]

I thought it was in good shape also it needed a lot of cleaning I am only into it for $20.00 and really only bought it for the side covers but it looked like it might run boy was i wrong

Yeah, the saw looks great doesn't it? I think it should have a carb kit.

Cant imagine it, all you have to do is take the plug out and screw in the gauge, pull the rope a few times. Get a carb kit for it when you're there.

well i did not have any luck running it so I put on a carb that came off a running saw but no they were clean and moist

Jeff welcome to the site!! Let me preface by saying I have no exprience what-so-ever with these saws or the 490/590 Jonsereds....however from your pics....the piston looks ok....but now I have to ask...does the inpulse corridor travel through the cyl to the base or does it get there another way?? The reason I ask is......you have about 500% more sealer than needed on that base gasket.....I have seen many many impulse corridors plugged with gasket goo.....you plug it and you will not be cutting anything. Second is that silicone????? If it is........lose it....you should never use any type of silicone sealers on a saw..you should use an anerobic sealer like Permatex 518 or Hylo-Mar that is not affected by fuel/oil and does not harden. This could well be your problem but when puting a saw into service you have to spend a few bucks on things like carb kits, fuel lines and filters as well. That's a very nice looking saw and clean too. It's a process and you have to methodically eliminate things one at a time in the proper order or you will just be chasing your tail. Pics are the ticket as we observe what you're doing rather than you explaning it to us. We'll get you going..I'm sure....

If you've got good spark and the flywheel is right, the next thing I'd do is kit the carb if the compression is good. I still don't get the muffler thing though.
